Ass-shit World - Episode 17
That was pretty bad. Dumb cop out twist cliffhanger nonsense. The fight itself wasn't very exciting either. I also had to skip some awful looking swimsuit humor exposition shit. Maybe it's time to skip a few episodes of this again until it's back on form with the action. :/

I'm wondering why you think One Piece is exempt from this.

But Sailor Moon was based on a Manga. It's not a Toy Selling show. That's Precure and even that is fairly good!
Or how spending 3 minutes in OP and 5 minutes in recap doesn't constitute spamming old footage. At least it doesn't spam flashbacks as badly as Naruto did. Or how, instead of having individual plots in every ep filled with whatever they feel like, it spreads things out over 50+ eps so it doesn't overtake the manga.

Wow, now that would be hilarious.
Took 11 years to get decent Roger Smith & Dorothy figures.
Ever episode of One piece isn't interrupted by stock animation intended to advertise a bunch of toys and accessories.
One piece does have it's merchandize in stores thankfully it doesn't blatantly advertise them all up in your face and hurt the narrative or put the story on hold.
Not so sure about the manga since I have only read like 1 chapter, but This is the anime thread so I would imagine we would be talking about the anime, then sailor moon is on the same boat.
Believe it or not, those items were in the manga. Actually, there were some that didn't make it to the anime.
Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence
I don't really know how I feel about this movie. There are interesting things about it, like the consistently good use of quotations and an excellent visual style, but I found it very difficult to engage with events as they transpired. It bluntly presents its themes, offering little room for interpretation while failing to explore the themes it lays out. The sensation of time and place are loosely played with to the detriment of the movie's consistency/pacing, and an otherwise simple plot becomes complex primarily through obfuscation.
Probably the biggest difficulty I had was that I felt unable to really latch on to any of the characters, so rather than ever really connecting to the film I felt like a bystander the whole time. I'm glad I watched the movie, but the unrealized potential stands out more to me than the things that went right.

I wish the show in your avatar had been marketed better. Or even better, actually released here so people could buy it.

Can funimation keep in the dr. pepper references?

"Dr.Pepper" was just in the fansubs
Dk.Pepper was the real name of the cola in Steins;Gate.
Wasn't it released here? there is a version dub on youtube.
No. 4Kids licensed it and showed it on TV. No subs, no dub DVD, no nothing for people to purchase. Not even merchandise. Plus they called it Hollywood mew mew or some shit.
I looked it up. They called it Mew Mew Power and only aired half of it.

Dk. Pepper truly is a drink for the intellectuals, perfectly agnostic.

Well, cockroaches are quite moe.
Yeah I was gonna post that as a response
The sheep in Mayo Chiki were more the stuff of nightmares. They always had that bloody dribble on the side.

I really thought they might go through with it. It's so weird having a character be such an impetus in pushing lessons in experience and morality ike the Heartseed guy does.
It gives everything a weird manufactured feel although not in a bad way. It's just more I expect natural courses of events to impart this stuff.

Which is of course totally different and not at all related to Dr. Pepper.
When it comes to Dr. Pepper, there is no such thing as 'too much'. So good.

What I wouldn't give for a buddy cop show starring Bobby and Momou. Those two have chemistry.
Revisiting whatshisface's house to work on that whole selfish morality lesson certainly isn't this episode's (maybe show's?) strong point either. Didnt' even care about that cliffhanger.

What is stock animation?

I used to order Pizza Hut every Sunday. I couldn't actually watch Geass without munching on some Pizza Hut.
I blame CC.
I also really like both Strawberry and Rum Raisin Haagen Dazs
Reused animation in this case. It's noticeable in magical girl shows with transformations or even super robot combination stuff among other things.
Sailor Moon's first transformation
GaoGaiGar Final Fusion
It's reused as it saves on cost and it'd be silly to reanimate stuff.
Stock animation is when the same sequence of animation is used multiple times throughout a series. It's most commonly used for transformations and attack sequences which can be recycled for different episodes.

On the plus side, the recaps make it much easier to get caught up since each episode ends up being like 14 minutes.

I dont think theres nothing wrong with stock animation, I never get tired of seeing them Kougas or Soumas or any of the rest in Saint Seiya Omega, or Natsu's attacks in Fairy Tail, or Takuto's in Star Driver or the Electric Brier.

I'd even patronize brands advertised in "this show is brought to you by the following sponsors" bits if any of them actually existed over here. The only international brands that I ever see advertised are McDonald's and Square-Enix, which I think is a sign that anime is trying to kill me.

Proof, if proof were needed, that Super Robot shows and Magical Girl shows are one and the same.
That'd explain why I took so easily to the magical girl stuff.

FT is actually really good on not resorting to stock animation past the first 30ish episodes or so. Yeah, Natsu is using the same attacks a lot, but it rarely does the "stock background/movement" thing anymore.
You don't really need stock animation when every attack is the sa--
there we go.
I can get behind this comparison.

Strawberry Haagen Dazs is kinda lame. Strawberry Cheesecake is where it's at.I used to order Pizza Hut every Sunday. I couldn't actually watch Geass without munching on some Pizza Hut.

Well both are typically where the toy selling anime get slotted in... We may be on to something here!

Application is everything. There's a difference between using your flaming punch to hit someone and using your flaming punch as a thruster to propel yourself through a strong barrier. This is also something FT is good at.

It would probably depend on the stock animation itself and how they use it.
If it is used the same way every time, takes too long and can probably be seen as time filler, that's bad.
If it is lively, kinda makes the show, sometimes changes in length, then sure, spam me that animation.

If that was Strawberry Cheesecake instead I would have had a month long craving for Strawberry Cheesecake.
Good thing it wasn't because that shit is gross.
